Lost Anchor (Anchora, White Reef) - Sal

The Lost Anchor, also known as Anchora or White Reef, is a straightforward dive on Sal, perfect for beginners. Dropping to a maximum of 14 metres, it's an easy drift over a mostly sandy bottom. We often spot schools of goatfish sifting through the sand here, and sometimes a few stingrays resting on the seabed. It’s a gentle introduction to Cape Verde diving, ideal for shaking off the rust or completing a training dive.
